Marta’s math textbook weighs Four-fifths of a pound less than 4 times the weight of the book she is reading for her language arts class. If the weight of the math textbook is 2 and one-fifth pounds, which shows the correct equation and value of x, the weight of Marta’s book for language arts? 4 x + four-fifths = 2 and one-fifth; x = StartFraction 7 over 20 EndFraction of a pound
4 x minus four-fifths = 2 and one-fifth; x = three-fourths of a pound
4 x + four-fifths = 2 and one-fifth; x = three-fourths of a pound
4 x minus four-fifths = 2 and one-fifth; x = StartFraction 7 over 20 EndFraction of a pound

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

nothing extraneous has been found!

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
